| SUMMARY |
|
A
traumatic experience turns an honest and upright young man
from the village into a member of a dreaded gang of bandits.
As
he hunts for prey, he and his fellow gangsters strike terror
throughout the land.
One of their raids is particularly gruesome: nearly an entire
village is slaughtered before the gang manages to steal their
belongings.
Only a handful of youngsters survive the carnage.
They vow to
take revenge for their parents, their neighbours, and their village.
The survivors decide to track the bandits down, and soon they
find a wounded man - little do they know he is one of the dacoits,
injured in the attack on the village as he was about to steal!
The man is nursed back to health by the youths, but the young
villagers have not forgotten their mission.
When they ask the stranger to show them how to use a weapon,
the dacoit all too kindly obliges.... |
